LA TIMES: Say, Trump Could Be Right

By David Mills
They didn’t come right out and say it, but they certainly implied it (emphases mine).

FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, began scheming to carry out a terror attack long before they were engaged and before she moved to the United States on a fiancee visa last year…

…Asked if the courtship and marriage might have been purposely arranged by a foreign terror organization to get two terror operatives into the U.S. to pull off the attack, Comey said, “I don’t know the answer to that yet.”…

If it turns out a terror group did send the couple to the U.S. to wage an attack, Comey said that would be a game changer, showing that groups like Islamic State have found new ways to penetrate this country to launch attacks.

Which means what Donald Trump has been saying -- temporarily suspending Islamic immigration until we better understand the nature of the threat -- is entirely sensible.
